This new EP serves as a companion piece to Dronal’s 2023 release “Whilst We Fall”, offering 5 tracks of lush, rich, and beautifully textured ambient/drone music that, while containing some notes of warning, tends towards a more hopeful overall tone.
As with Whilst We Fall, a myriad of layers are blended together: field recordings of both the natural and human worlds; analogue radio recordings; analogue and digital synths; and improvised takes routed through unusual effects chains – all resulting in a fluid feel.
Reversing the concept of the Whilst We Fall cover – which took a visual representation of data and altered it to appear as a sunset – the cover for If We Land takes a photograph of a tree against a blue sky, taken with deliberate camera movement, and further blurs and distorts it to appear almost as a representation of data.
Released April 3, 2025
